    Yes and yes.

    Seeing how KD & Lebron (Nike) and Harden (Adidas) are New Balance and Kawhi’s competitors, I don’t thinks it’s a reach to say that the commercial was targeting all 3.

    Did they shoot that commercial with a $5 budget? Kawhi is taking massive L’s by signing with New Balance. Nobody even knows who Kawhi is, his game isn’t flashy or appealing to the masses, and nobody is rocking New Balance basketball shoes because they will get clowned. They will catch endless jokes. New Balance is the Sketchers of basketball.

    Who's buying that shoe? Elderly who can't tie laces anymore? Hospital workers? Lunch ladies. 4chan incels who haven't seen the sun in 3 months. Bus drivers. Leonard is probably the most unmarketable player in league history with the ugliest shoe ever created. James should just show him his 200Ms Adidas deal and shut his ass up.

    You need to be sitting in a boardroom and not giving out world class marketing strategies on CF.net. Damn that is creative.

    Controversy sells. New Balance is trying to break into the basketball shoe market. I see them as a distant 4-5th.

    Can't follow him @ the gym could be a slight at Melo. That's the only place you can find him.

    Sat out a season and screwed the spurs to get a better shoe situation for himself and then he comes out with this?

    Literally every star player in the NBA complains about fouls. Except quiet, good boi Kawhi, apparently.

    New balance sounds like something found at walmart or payless shoes. He must be going for affordable shoes.

    Leonard's shoes could end up being the only ones Friar Tuck ain't interested in, and the Tuckster likes his shoes.

    Not anymore. I read Jordan brand pay very little. Most players are okay with it because they view it as honor to be Jordan spokesmen. Michael Jordan himself pick you.

    Kawhi wants so badly to be seen as unique that he signed on with New Balance, the world's preeminent maker of Dad shoes.

    I mean, not like a direct shot at Harden really. I can't think of a single star player that isn't "drawing fouls" or whatever.

    Rocket should get the whole team a pair of these next time the play the Raptors. Go out for warm ups in them and purposefully brick/air ball every single shot. See if ol' quiet, weird ass Kawhi got something to say then?

    Kawhi doesn't need your tweets. Kawhi doesn't need to play for a year. Kawhi doesn't think Pop, Duncan, Parker, Manu are the real reason he won a chip lol...Kawhi doesn't know his shoes have ****ing velcro on them, what's next? Kawhi 2's gonna have LA lights on em?

    They make good running shoes. I think I preferred them to my air max.
